Customers across all categories now look for a personalised experienced that is available when they want it, how they want it, where they want it. Regardless of whether the desired experience is delivered, it is now possible through the explosion of mobile coupled with the prominence of social media for consumers to give instant feedback. The consequence is the increasingly significant impact that customer experience has on the overall relationship with a brand.
Ethnography is a research method made for investigating cultural practices, rituals, consumer behaviour, routines and social norms. It helps our clients identify previously unseen opportunities through looking at people’s worlds in a new way, through putting behaviour at the heart of our investigation.
Ethnography is a qualitative research technique, characterised by spending extended periods of time with people. We immerse ourselves in their world so we can observe and understand what they say, what they do and how they do it.
Over the past few years, we have seen an increased proliferation of mobile across the world. Not only have we seen the number of mobile users grow worldwide, but we’ve witnessed increased engagement of consumers with their mobile devices for a variety of everyday activities, whether it’s watching videos, shopping and making purchases, or simply accessing the internet. We are now past the mobile tipping point, with mobile overtaking fixed internet access in many markets, across developed and developing economies. Consumer interactions with brands are, more than ever before, fragmented and multi-layered. Consumers are leading busy lives, and multi-task routinely in their day. Consequently, many of the planned brand exposures are missed and recall relevancy is eroding faster than expected.
Social Intelligence delivers insights that drive strategic decisions and performance, from consumer expression and behaviours found in social media, search and other online data.
